Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt synchronous reluctance assisted permanent magnet (SRPM) motor is designed to drive a ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...
